CAUTION on Volume Setting CDs produce very little noise compared with other sources. If the volume level is adjusted for the tuner, for example, the speakers may be damaged by the sudden increase in the output level. Therefore, lower the volume before playing a disc and adjust it as required during playback.

BEFORE USE *For safety.... • Do not raise the volume level too much, as this will block outside sounds, making driving dangerous. • Stop the car before performing any complicated operations.

*Temperature inside the car.... If you have parked the car for a long time in hot or cold weather, wait until the temperature in the car becomes normal before operating the unit.

Adjusting the sound

What is BBEII?

You can adjust the sound characteristics to your preference.

BASS

Adjust the bass.

–06 (min.) | +06 (max.)

TRE

Adjust the treble.

–06 (min.) | +06 (max.)

The BBEII* function restores the brilliance and clarity of the original live sound in recording, broadcasts, etc. When a speaker reproduces sound, it introduces frequency-dependent phase shifting, causing high-frequency sounds to take longer to reach the ear than low frequency sounds. The BBEII function adjusts the phase relationship between the low, mid and high frequencies by adding a progressively longer delay time to the low and mid frequencies, so that all frequencies reach the listener’s ears at the proper time. In addition, the BBEII function boosts low and high frequencies, which loudspeakers tend to be less efficient in reproducing, through dynamic, program-driven augmentation. When combined with the phase compensation feature, the resulting sound has a clearer, more finely detailed “live” presence.

FAD*

Adjust the front and rear speaker balance.

R06 (Rear only) | F06 (Front only)

Each time you press BBE (B), the BBEII function changes as follows:

Adjust the left and right speaker balance.

Controlling the volume automatically (Audio Cruise) You can select the proper cruise mode for your car. This unit changes the volume level automatically (at 3 possible levels) based on the driving speed of your car by detecting the alternator’s generating frequency (Audio Cruise). If you want to use this mode, follow the procedure below. When shipped from the factory, this mode is set to “CRUISE OFF.” • CRUISE 1: Select this if your car is relatively quiet. • CRUISE 2: Select this if your car is relatively loud. The volume increase rate is twice as much as that of the CRUISE 1 setting. • CRUISE OFF: Cancels Audio Cruise.

You may need to store the idling speed into memory to make Audio Cruise function correctly. NOTICE that a number of factors, such as electric power steering, wipers, power windows, air conditioner, etc. do generate noises and, as a result, may cause Audio Cruise not to function correctly. If this is the main cause of malfunction, connect the memory backup lead (yellow lead) directly to the car battery to prevent these noises from affecting Audio Cruise. 1 Start the engine and let it warm up. 2 Press and hold SEL (S) for more than 2 seconds so that one of the PSM items appears on the display. ¢ or 4 repeatedly until 3 Press “CRUISE” appears on the display. 4 Turn the control dial to select either “CRUISE 1” or “CRUISE 2.” 5 Press ¢ (or 4 ) to select “+OR– SET.” 6 Turn the control dial to select the desired idling speed. 7 Press SEL (S) to finish the setting. When the setting is complete, the unit automatically checks to see if Audio Cruise functions correctly with this new idling setting. If it does not function correctly, Audio Cruise is canceled automatically and the idling setting becomes invalid. • If this happens, see the NOTICE above.
